On Line Shopping Fraud Tips
I was surfing the web and found these tips by FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) to help avoid fraud while shopping on line. I thought it would be good to pass it along to all your shoppers with Father's Day and summer shopping going on right now. Scammers and cyber criminals are very adapt at tricking you into giving your personal information to them.
Hope this helps keep you safe.
  • Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.
  • Always compare the link in the e-mail to the web address link you are directed to and determine if they match.
  • If you are requested to act quickly or there is an emergency, it may be a scam. Fraudsters create a sense of urgency to get you to act impulsively.
  • For online auctions or bids, diligently check each seller’s rating and feedback along with their number of sales and the dates on which feedback was posted.
  • If you have received a scam e-mail, please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint  at www.ic3.gov.                                                                                                                                                                 http://www.inclusive-style.com
